Apocalipse 13
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Os dois monstros
13 Depois eu vi um monstro que tinha dez chifres e sete cabeças sair do mar. Em cada um dos chifres havia uma coroa e em cada uma das cabeças havia um nome que ofendia a Deus. 2 O monstro que vi era parecido com um leopardo, as suas patas eram como as patas de um urso e a sua boca como a boca de um leão. O dragão lhe deu o seu poder, o seu trono e grande autoridade. 3 Uma das cabeças do monstro parecia que tinha sido ferida e que ia morrer, mas essa ferida mortal foi curada e os homens do mundo inteiro se admiraram, seguindo o monstro. 4 Eles adoraram o dragão, porque ele tinha dado a sua autoridade ao monstro, e também adoraram o monstro, dizendo:
—Quem é igual ao monstro? Quem é que pode lutar contra ele?
5 Foi permitido usar a sua boca para dizer coisas arrogantes e ofensivas e lhe foi dada autoridade para usar o seu poder por quarenta e dois meses. 6 Ele começou a ofender a Deus, insultando o seu nome, o lugar onde ele habita e todos os que vivem no céu. 7 Foi-lhe dada também permissão para que lutasse contra o povo de Deus e o vencesse. Foi-lhe dada, ainda, autoridade sobre todas as famílias, povos, línguas e nações. 8 Todos os habitantes da terra vão adorar o monstro. Esses habitantes são aquelas pessoas cujos nomes não estão escritos no livro da vida que pertence ao Cordeiro, que estava destinado a ser morto desde a criação do mundo.
9 Se alguém pode ouvir, ouça:
10 Aquele que tiver que ir para a prisão,
que vá para a prisão.
Aquele que matar à espada,
deve ser morto pela espada.
Esta situação exige perseverança e fé da parte do povo de Deus.
11 Depois eu ainda vi um outro monstro sair da terra. Ele tinha dois chifres como os de um cordeiro, mas falava como um dragão. 12 Este segundo monstro servia ao primeiro e exercia toda a sua autoridade. Ele fazia com que a terra e todos os seus habitantes adorassem o primeiro monstro, cuja ferida mortal tinha sido curada. 13 O segundo monstro também fazia grandes milagres e até mesmo fogo do céu ele fazia descer à terra na presença de todas as pessoas. 14 Ele enganava os habitantes da terra por causa dos milagres que tinha recebido poder para fazer, como servo do primeiro monstro. O segundo monstro disse aos habitantes da terra para fazerem uma imagem em honra ao monstro que tinha sido ferido à espada e que tinha sobrevivido. 15 E o segundo monstro recebeu permissão para dar vida à imagem do primeiro monstro. Dessa forma ele fez com que ela não somente falasse como também fizesse morrer a todos aqueles que não adorassem a imagem do monstro. 16 O segundo monstro fez com que todos, importantes e simples, ricos e pobres, livres e escravos, tivessem uma marca na mão direita ou na testa. 17 Assim, ninguém podia comprar ou vender a não ser que tivesse a marca que era o nome do monstro, ou o número correspondente ao seu nome. 18 Isto exige sabedoria. Aquele que é inteligente pode decifrar o significado do número do monstro, pois o número representa o nome de um homem. Seu número é 666.
Revelation 13
English Standard Version
The First Beast
13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, (A)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and (B)blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was (C)like a leopard; its feet were like (D)a bear's, and its mouth was like (E)a lion's mouth. And to it (F)the dragon gave his power and (G)his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and (H)the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, (I)“Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given (J)a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for (K)forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed (L)to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all (M)who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in (N)the book of life of (O)the Lamb (P)who was slain. 9 (Q)If anyone has an ear, let him hear:
10 (R)If anyone is to be taken captive,
to captivity he goes;
(S)if anyone is to be slain with the sword,
with the sword must he be slain.
(T)Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.
The Second Beast
11 Then (U)I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence,[c] and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, (V)whose mortal wound was healed. 13 (W)It performs great signs, even (X)making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of[d] the beast (Y)it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast (Z)that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not (AA)worship the image of the beast (AB)to be slain. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[e] (AC)to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, (AD)the name of the beast or (AE)the number of its name. 18 (AF)This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number (AG)of a man, and his number is 666.[f]

Revelation 13
King James Version
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
